Only thing that would suck bout 8 is it would only the division winners

If anything I vote 16

Or if we can't get enough maybe 12 where the top 4 seeds get a first round bye week

people who have earned their spot get the highest seedings. it's like college bball tournament time, everyone who participated gets a chance to shine, the best of the best get byes and the rest grind it out that first round.

unless King Ra. had other plans but he's obviously not here. doing it on the fly folks.

Mike Wrecka
06-01-2013, 03:49 PM
the way keith explained it was that only the people with the best records get in

I think he said all division winners, and then four wildcards

so trap , Adonis, basically this sign up is to make sure that the division winners are still with us and going to participate. then the top four non division winners (best records) get the four wildcard spots. so based on the people saying in, the four with the best records, that aren't division winners get in. I know I repeated myself.

that's the way keith had intended this to happen imo. js

Adonis
06-01-2013, 04:29 PM
I agree with Mike

Only I think originally he wanted 16 people. Doesn't seem likely. But a 12 man playoff is dueable

We'll see. If King Ra. don't log in today and clear shit up I suppose we will still move on

I can help with a few things butas long as I'm competing I won't do mag. Would rather try and win rather then do mag

06-01-2013, 05:38 PM
sign up thread is necessary because people with best records may not want to compete or be around to compete.

If we just picked ppl with best records, chances are we'd have a lot of double no shows

I tagged Rawn etc in case they wanted to sign up for playoffs

06-02-2013, 02:31 PM
I am Looking to have threads up by Monday/Tuesday

I can not promise a full mag, but I do have something for you guys as a bonus

But...as of now, considering who has signed in I vote we have 12 man playoff where the top 4 seeds get a first round bye. IF, we get a few other people that sign up and were active for at 4 weeks then we CAN have a 16 man playoff. So for now though, if you guys don't mind

I have requested temp. MOD powers until King/Split can take over. Here are is the seedings or Place of people who have signed in and are eligible.

Titanium Conference

1.Frank (1st RD. bye)
2.Mike Wrecka (1st RD. bye)
3.Patrown
4.Nigma
5.Objective
6.DeadMan

Platinum Conference

1.Pohfig (1st RD bye)
2.Zygote (1st rd. Bye)
3.Red Glare
4.Adonis
5.IAmBenT
6.Zenland


I know King wanted the Brackets set up as east/west stlye tourney

The other option is instead of having 6 each conference we can have the div. winners, then the 4 best overall records...But some people need to drop opinions on a bunch of shit that I've posted here and above

Thanks.

I'm still going to give it until at least tomorrow to work some shit out as well as in the hopes that another name or two signs in.

Maybe even Keith

Do need assistance on either a concept for topics or topics in general.

Third of all wheres franks props for first champ of the league

Lastly and not leastly wheres zygotes props for most champ defenses

My accomplishment is far less impressive then theirs

06-03-2013, 09:43 AM
That is very noble of you, Pohfig.

Word@ stacked platinum conference lol

Idk how double no-shows work. cuz I had one there at the end of the season, not sure if its gonna count or what? really did mean to drop in that battle just... hated that topic lol

I would say pics over quotes too but... the only pic battle this season was my first real loss so lol... Quotes it is

I say the division champs get byes, and the rest of us be lined up by records. then have at it. don't over complicate it.

Also, will it be one and done or double elim?? lol

IamBenT
06-03-2013, 12:18 PM
I don't see why we can't run sixteen with a side pool of emergency cats who can break in if it looks like we're getting no-showed.

Wasn't it going to be 8 division winners and best 8 records after that?? That way, division champs mean something? So it would look like this, i think

Division Champs

Patrown (4-3) 1 no-show Black Division Champion
Mike Wrecka (7-5) Blue Division Championson
Frank (6-5) 3 no-show (3x Champion 2 Title Defense) Green Div.
Nigma (5-5)Purple Div. Champ

Zygote (10-2) (4x Champion 3 Title Defense)Red Div. Champ
Adonis (6-3) White Div. Champ
Pohfig (8-3) (1x Champion 0 Title Defense) Yellow Division Champ
Red Glare (7-4) 2 no-show Orange Div. Champ

The Best of the Rest

ZeeDee (5-3) 1 no-show (1x Champion 0 Title Defense)
King Ra. (5-3) 2 no-show
Objective (5-4) 1 no-show
IamBenT (7-3) 2 no-show
Zenland (7-6)
TopicalDood5 (4-2) 1 no-show
Vulgar (3-1)


and we should have a three way to see who gets the last spot in between these:
Cereal Killa (3-2) 1 no-show
Split (5-5) 2 no-show
Vinzr (3-2)

This is if we were to just go by records. I don't believe that's gonna happen cuz of the no-show factor and some of these cats listed above have not signed up. Not sure about wins and losses between specific guys, or if yall are gonna get that specific in terms of ranking. Don't know how I feel about people with losing records getting in, I guess if we are hard up for competitors go for it, but still. Just my 2 more cents

If Split and King Keith do not sign in, next in line is Veritas and Tyson. Those are the 4 mystery components. Rearrange them like a master mind. Confirm with split if he's participating -- Nah? IMO you roll with Veritas. He showed up every week and is a only a game below 500. after a accumulating a bunch of wins last minute. If Kieth doesn't sign in by tonight -- replace him with Tyson. Tyson was a solid competitor and if you discredit his 2 no show wins he's got a winning record and is most qualified out of who remains.

Playoff sceniaro.

Frank (1st RD. bye)
Mike Wrecka (1st RD. bye)

ZeeDee Vs. Tyson
Objective Vs. Patrown

Zygote (1st RD. bye)
Pohfig (1st RD. bye)

Zenland Vs. TopicalDood5
Red glare Vs. Adonis
Veritas Vs. Cerial Killah
IAmBent Vs. Split?

I say you have a lottery for last spot. Meaning you gotta compete for the final slot. 16 lines -- The division winners vote on best verse submission. 24 hr time limit. This makes it interesting because then you have a joe smoe who can win it all.

Either way -- time for the grand finale kid.

Adonis -- I know you ran the RIA like a well oiled machine and even bad mouthed the AOWL behind its back. But never mind that now.

The ball is in your hands. I can help write the mag.

Split
06-03-2013, 02:08 PM
what frank just said made a lot of sense to me

I think it was Keith's idea that everything would be record based ie not really sign in, so competing for last spot makes more sense than giving it away

I will write 16 if y'all want just tag me when u know, I been getting on at the library and rarely on the home PC

Off to apply for jobs pz

Frank
06-03-2013, 02:23 PM
Why compete when you have the opportunity of a life time?

The last addition to the playoff roster -- the real underdog role.

This is what it's all about. It will trenscend your real life. You will have nightmares where you wake up in cold sweats -- fearing not what your opponent will do to you, but what you will do to your opponent.

Do not let this opportunity pass you by young noble lad.


Make it clear now. If you relinquish your rights -- state it here for the public to condemn you appropriately.

If split doesn't sign in, he's giving hope to the dead man, the cake, the nycspitz and the innovators for one last chance at glory.

What'll it be? The decision is yours.

Tyson, vulgar have stated no interest in playoffs.

Zeedee and Keith are both missing

Veritas was banned for a week, and hasn't logged in since.

Just a few nuggets for you

I split is now a maybe. I haven't added participants but I would bet that barely puts us @ like 14 qualified

Mike Wrecka
06-03-2013, 04:30 PM
I understand that this is a massive undertaking. but lets get this show on the road.

I don't want to leave anyone deserved out but after looking at the above post, it seems that 12 is an ideal number. four first round byes based on the four division champs with the best record. the other four division winners and four wildcards battle it out first round. that's leaves us with 8 a nice even number. then three more rounds and we crown a champ. Adonis.

tbh I really don't give a fuck, I don't know if this format would give me a bye or not, but I could really care less. it just seems so obvious that this is the best way to do it.

lets get something going sooner then later.

IamBenT
06-03-2013, 04:33 PM

Objective

[B]24 hr time limit. This makes it interesting because then you have a joe smoe who can win it all.

That sounds ridiculous imo. Sometimes battles go up at 6pm or 3pm for me, sometimes even longer. That leaves me a 6 hour writing session and I might not even be home before 10pm at some days which means that I'll wake up to an battle that has been up for 12 hours on a day I got other plans only to come home and see the battle closed and a no-show from me. The time difference is crazy, the entire league I've posted first. I'd at least like to know sometime in advance WHEN the battles will go up so I can put some time for it. 24 hours to write on a certain topic is fine, but at least give people a heads up (at least a couple days in advance and which date it'll be up) on when it'll be up if you plan to do it this way Adonis.

Beside of that; I'm in either way and will give my votes for the awards thing soon enough.

Topics and threads will be up by tomorrow night. One thing you should all know about me is I'm serious and honest as shit when I want to be...Meaning if I say I will have a mag posted in this site with in the next few hours you better believe it

If I say threads will be up and running by this time tomorrow believe it
Frank

I don't know what RIA is bro? And the only negative thing I ever said about this league is competition wise...it's not that same as the RHYME on PR. Which Nothing ever will be. When we open a league or tournament there we have 12-16 guys that can and have champed numerous sites over the past decade plus.

Don't matter though.

Witty TopicalDood5

If we do not get another 2-3 people who are eligible for postseason do either of you have any interest in receiving a separate topic and becoming the round 1 Alternate in your conference?

You would receive a random topic and be given the same amount of time to write as anyone else. Only down side is, if nobody no show's then you write a verse for nothing

PM me and let me know though ASAP please

If we get another couple members in then I will make it 14-16 man tournament and you two are the first two out as it stands though.

I should be eligible I got noshowed twice then signed out

Adonis

Yeah, if I remember though you had a total of like 12 bars in the regular season. Just guessing cause I don't remember you name and the particulars though. But as I've been in charge of writing No Show Love I remember the two no show wins and out both being hardly a verse.

Don't matter. We set it at 4 weeks participation

Adonis

Actually Mike Wrecka Frank IamBenT Zenland pohfig etc. etc...

I think it would be much better to allow Witty and Topical Dood into the playoffs and have the 14 man tournament don't you guys?

I think it's better having only the conference champs getting a bye plus giving more competition for everyone.

What say you?

As I said, threads will be up tomorrow about 5-7pm West time

Personally I think it should be top 8 and thats that. Playoffs is earned and I hate the fact you guys are letting just about everyone in. And what the fuck is participation minimum of 4 weeks? If you didn't participate (no shows shouldnt count as participation) for a minimum of half the season why should you be considered for playoffs?

I can sign in week 3 and go 4-0 and then sign out and write verses for 5 weeks and sign into the playoffs? Lol thats a joke.

But those are all guidelines from when I ran a league so whatever. The top 8 stems from the number of participants total btw- in the season overall and around for playoffs.

That's kind of the reason I calculated no Show's into the records

4 weeks minimum is just because that's better then nothing

I would be fine with the top 8, but in all honesty because the whole (division/Conference) thing I was thrown a curve ball. I'm trying to stay true to what Keith wanted in having 8 division winners making the playoffs. But I think there are writers like IAMBENT who deserve to be there. But lost to me in final week. Going into that week even I didn't try hard because it was assumed there would be more then just 8 in the playoffs. So in that sense it's not fair for people like Bent and shit.

I'm just throwing ideas out there and you opinion is added. But I will tell you now, you're getting a bye week unless you wish to forfeit the bye week and get a lower seed, or we get a waive of people to sign up ad miraculously get to 16.

Frank wants 14, Pohfig/Mike wants 8. anyone else?

Mike Wrecka
06-03-2013, 09:22 PM
don't put me down for 8. that seems ridiculous. it was implied all along that there would be wildcards. so people should still get that chance.

I like the idea of 12. seems very fair in all respects.

it sux we were left in this position to make shit up on the fly. but lets make it happen.

06-03-2013, 09:24 PM
I dont see a prob with witty and topical. they are a-ok in my book, and good verses from them just makes the tourney that much better

also, anything above 8 sounds good to me lol cuz only 8 means im cut out, if you go by division winners

Pent uP
06-03-2013, 09:36 PM
No offense but you guys are letting feelings and friendships determine who u let in. If bent deserves to be in the playoffs hos record, whatever it is, would reflect it and he would be in the top 8 or whatever.

I dont understand how u guys feel people who have contributed to less then half the season - a 12 weeks season that spanned 20 weeks - deserve to participate regardless of skill for the title of champion

Adonis
06-03-2013, 09:36 PM
I like the idea of 12, but I feel bad leaving Witty and Topical dood out. Not so much Topical dood cuz He was AWOL the entire league

But Witty was hell of consistent and drops gems

I just feel like with them two we add two more competitors who could champ this thing and make it that much tougher for all of us.

2-2 on topical and Witty being in though

Also IamBenT

did you see I chose you for verse of the year. i remember reading that shit and just being floored...Like WTF??? So dope all around

IamBenT
06-03-2013, 09:43 PM
Yeah bro I saw that! I do appreciate it, I had a blast writing that verse, its been a while since I wrote to a beat (my first week here actually) and it was just my take on the poem "Thanatopsis", but i do see that and appreciate that someone actually read the verse lol.

and I have no problem with top 8 if its based on records lol but not if its based on division winners, i mean Zygote champed my division lol didnt have enough time to catch that dude

Nah. He never said nothing about joining to me. Also if it was for $ as MOD you're all disqualified

I win!!

If Split doesn't sign in -- I vote for a 'free for all' for the final spot.

It shakes shit up -- It's like that movie with mark walberg -- playing for the eagles -- dude just walks on the field and trys out and makes the team like it's nothing.

Set a topic -- 16 lines max -- anybody can try out. The division winners vote on the best verse -- That person gets in -- if that person ends up winning the whole shit -- so be it -- luck of the draw.

Keep it gully kid. Not fair to pick and choose. Let them battle it out -- due 24 hrs from now --

do it

Adonis
06-03-2013, 10:59 PM
Again...ZeeDee and Veritas are both missing so this leaves us with 13.

Although DeadMan is not on that list and wants in...or Witty

I know he wants in and Witty's record is more deserving then pretty much half that list.

Either way.

In any case I see zero Percent chance of a person who didn't participate in the season end up joining the playoffs.

As I said before. I'm trying really hard to keep shit true to what Keith envisioned in the end, at the same time having you all pick the gray areas where me and Keith didn't discuss

But there is no picking and choosing, it's all based off record.

Frank
06-03-2013, 11:07 PM
Nah witty don't deserve it in my book. Dead man was a disappointment -- except for that one verse which prolly was the best all season about the beach.

ZeeDee is not missing -- he's just disgruntled right now. Same with Veritas. They will not no-show once the playoff thread is up. That you can trust in believe in. Right now they are lurking and reading this. Sup guys? TIME FOR PLAYOFFS MOTHERFUCKER

Adonis
06-03-2013, 11:24 PM
Well I've asked for them to sign up

I'm not putting people in a thread that has not showed up

I got no Beef with any of them dudes

I think Veritas is one of the better writers here

And Zeedee I beefed with, but me moding will have zero bearing on him winning or losing.

So Sign up or forever hold your peace

I believe I posted something asking about the playoffs and the mods, the indecisive mods, informed me that it would likely be a 16 man playoff (which is standard across all leagues if memory serves)

i wouldve stayed in longer had the mods appeared to be leaning towards an 8 man

Adonis
06-04-2013, 12:28 AM
As it is we don't have 16

I don't think you guys get that

And letting people in with no regular season participation isn't happening. You have to of earned your spot.

I'm kind of over trying to please. At this point it is what it is. I want a 16 man tourney but its not possible with 14 people.

So get the lurkers to sign in or I'm sorry. Nobody expected this shit to happen. I'm trying bro. Understand that first and foremost

06-04-2013, 02:27 PM
i had no expectation to be accepted into playoffs, i just signed in for the fuck of it on the off-chance that a stipulation of some sort would allow it..

i realize i didnt participate at all during the latter part of the season.. it wasnt on accident

12 sounds like a good number for a playoff tournament, according strictly to the numbers. make a bracket, follow that bracket religiously. problems solved.

Adonis
06-04-2013, 02:29 PM
Just a heads up. Looks as if we'll be running a 16 man tourney.

And Frank

Get zeedee and veritas in here bro. I don't know what's going on but it would be better with them
